OPERATING PROCEDURES
Please Note: If you are using your popper for the first time, clean the interior of the glass surfaces
and wipe the inside of your popper with a clean damp sponge before heat is applied. Please follow
these procedures for the best operating results and long machine life.
1. Place the corn popper on a dry, level surface. Protect from rain and other weather elements. Do
not install near pool or water. Plug the unit into a suitable grounded electrical outlet. (Please
check the electrical specifications! This is a commercial quality popper requiring 120V. Be
sure that your power source matches the rating label specified next to the power cord.)
2. The Main unit has 3 function switches: Warmer, Stirrer & Pot Heater.
Stir (I)
Pot Heater (II)
Warmer (III)
3. Check to see that the kettle power cord is securely attached and that the stirrer arm is securely
seated in its housing inside at the top of the cabinet (see previous page, Figure 3).
4. Turn the Warmer switch (III) to ON. Turn the Pot Heater switch (II) to ON and add a suitable
amount of oil (Fig. 1). While the amount is dependent upon your taste, please do not exceed ½
cup for a full 12oz. batch of popcorn. A good rule of thumb for popcorn to oil ratio is 3:1. See
next page for measurement equivalents.
5. Preheat kettle for 3 to 4 minutes with the oil added (until steam comes out from the pot). If using
a Great Northern Popcorn Co. Gourmet Tri-Pak, cut off top of oil section on pouch and squeeze
oil into pot.
NEVER heat kettle without oil or attempt to make popcorn without oil.
Please Note: DO NOT USE LIQUID SUGAR OR HONEY AS THIS MAY DAMAGE KETTLE
AND CAUSE SMOKING AND/OR INJURY FROM HOT SUGAR. KEEP WATER FROM
KETTLE, OIL AND MACHINE. AVOID SPILLING OIL ON OR AROUND THE MACHINE AS
THIS MAY CAUSE A POTENTIAL FIRE.
